[🤝 Onboarding](https://support.hellowalla.com/getting-started-with-walla?hsLang=en#onboarding) September 10, 2026 # Important Things to Know About Using Walla ## Review platform considerations to know before and during migration — unpaid visits, unique emails, account relationships, gift cards, the Walla app, and what data does and doesn't import. ### Unpaid Visits Walla will never allow for an unpaid reservation in a class. You can always issue a comp pass and clients who have an active recurring plan with a valid credit card on file will be able to book past their renewal date. ### Unique Emails Walla uses email as a unique identifier, this means no two clients can share an email nor can you add a client without an email. ### Account Relationships Walla has the ability for your clients to easily pay for guests to use a drop-ins. We also allow plan sharing and family relationships. However, we do not accommodate purchases for another client at this time. ### Gift Cards Walla integrates with a third party software called, GiftUp!. They are industry-leaders in this area and have a high conversion rate of web purchases for gift cards. Each gift card sold through Walla will have a 3.49% Gift Up! fee associated with it. Gift Up! fees are invoiced from Gift Up! and paid within Gift Up! - they are not paid within Walla. ### The Walla App The Walla app is a class booking tool, not a studio-discoverability tool. Your clients are required to create an account at your studio prior to logging in and viewing the class schedule in the app. ### What Gets Imported Data related to your clients: client profile data, client current and historical plan data, credit cards and upcoming bookings for 2 weeks (pending availability in your current software) ### What Doesn't Get Imported Video library content, enrollment/workshop attendees, gift card information and class/staff information, you will set up each area of the software during the site build phase. - [Getting Started with Walla](https://support.hellowalla.com/getting-started-with-walla?hsLang=en#main-content) - [🤝 Onboarding](https://support.hellowalla.com/getting-started-with-walla?hsLang=en#onboarding) - [Migrations](https://support.hellowalla.com/getting-started-with-walla?hsLang=en#migrations) - [Products](https://support.hellowalla.com/products?hsLang=en) - [Branded App](https://support.hellowalla.com/branded-app?hsLang=en) - [Classes](https://support.hellowalla.com/classes?hsLang=en) - [Managing Your Studio](https://support.hellowalla.com/managing-your-studio?hsLang=en) - [Integrations](https://support.hellowalla.com/integrations?hsLang=en) - [Enrollments](https://support.hellowalla.com/enrollments?hsLang=en) - [WallaPredict](https://support.hellowalla.com/wallapredict?hsLang=en) - [Franchise Features](https://support.hellowalla.com/franchise-features?hsLang=en) - [Clients](https://support.hellowalla.com/clients?hsLang=en) - [Sales & Marketing Center](https://support.hellowalla.com/sales-marketing-center?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Sales Pipeline](https://support.hellowalla.com/sales-marketing-center?hsLang=en#sales-pipeline) - [Conditions](https://support.hellowalla.com/sales-marketing-center?hsLang=en#conditions) - [Builds](https://support.hellowalla.com/sales-marketing-center?hsLang=en#builds) - [Google and Meta Integration](https://support.hellowalla.com/sales-marketing-center?hsLang=en#google-and-meta-integration) - [Journeys and Audiences](https://support.hellowalla.com/sales-marketing-center?hsLang=en#journeys-and-audiences) - [Virtual](https://support.hellowalla.com/virtual?hsLang=en) - [Payments](https://support.hellowalla.com/payments?hsLang=en#main-content) - [💰 Payments](https://support.hellowalla.com/payments?hsLang=en#payments) - [Walla App](https://support.hellowalla.com/walla-app?hsLang=en) - [Packs & Plans](https://support.hellowalla.com/packs-plans?hsLang=en) - [Appointments](https://support.hellowalla.com/appointments?hsLang=en) - [For Studio Clients](https://support.hellowalla.com/for-studio-clients?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Using the Walla App](https://support.hellowalla.com/for-studio-clients?hsLang=en#using-the-walla-app) - [Your Walla Login](https://support.hellowalla.com/for-studio-clients?hsLang=en#your-walla-login) - [Using Walla Widgets](https://support.hellowalla.com/for-studio-clients?hsLang=en#using-walla-widgets) - [Staff](https://support.hellowalla.com/staff?hsLang=en) - [Reports](https://support.hellowalla.com/reports?hsLang=en) - [Client Communication](https://support.hellowalla.com/client-communication?hsLang=en) - [Memberships](https://support.hellowalla.com/memberships?hsLang=en) - [Walla Websites](https://support.hellowalla.com/walla-websites?hsLang=en) - [Walla FAQ's](https://support.hellowalla.com/walla-faqs?hsLang=en) - [Walla Customer Service](https://support.hellowalla.com/walla-customer-service?hsLang=en) - [Walla Subscription](https://support.hellowalla.com/walla-subscription?hsLang=en) - [Merchant](https://support.hellowalla.com/merchant?hsLang=en) - [Widgets](https://support.hellowalla.com/widgets?hsLang=en) - [Retention Suite](https://support.hellowalla.com/retention-suite?hsLang=en) [![walla-logo-120px](https://support.hellowalla.com/hs-fs/hubfs/walla-logo-120px.png?width=120&height=35&name=walla-logo-120px.png "walla-logo-120px")](https://www.hellowalla.com/) [mailto:support@hellowalla.com](mailto:support@hellowalla.com) Copyright © 2026, Walla Software
